Former Manchester United fullback Rafael da Silva has again spoken of beating Manchester City with Lyon.

Rafael says it was a surprise to come out on top against the Premier League champions.

He told the South China Morning Post, “We played with confidence and we played as a team. We counter-attacked and defended well. You have to do that against City because they have so many players who can beat you one against one.

“We were 2-0 at half-time and playing really well but it could have been three. We were a little surprised to be beating a team who'd not lost a game. They're one of the best teams in the world, but we were not stunned because we know how good we can play."
